Zach and Tana of Stumpers Off Road Jeep Club having fun driving their Jeep Wranglers in the "Bullfrog" area of Cougar Buttes near Johnson Valley, CA. Bullfrog is more of an off-road "area" than a 4x4 "trail" - You can drive around for hours on Bullfrog and never see the same rocks twice.. and get lost multiple times - this is why Bullfrog is one of our favorite areas at Cougar Buttes. Cougar Buttes is located just off Camp Rock Road, a bit northeast of Highway 247 in Lucerne Valley - this is often referred to as part of Johnson Valley but it is technically Lucerne Valley. Part of Cougar Buttes is now included in the famous King of The Hammers race course so that should give an idea of how difficult this area is for off-roading.
Gold Mountain, 3N69 in Big Bear is a moderately difficult trail that runs between Highway 18 and Forest Road 3N16. This video is a full guide and review of the entire trail showing all difficult spots including the "rock garden".
Any stock Jeep can do Gold Mountain and most 4WD SUVs and trucks can complete the trail although there is a risk of damage.
If you have any questions or if I missed something or got anything wrong please leave a comment.

In this short video I quickly go over how to use the menus on the Baofeng UV-5R, the Baofeng BF-F8HP, and Baofeng GT-3 - and pretty much all Baofeng ham and GMRS radios as well as most Wouxun radios, an other NON Yaesu/Icom radios.
Because the Baofeng ham radio and GMRS radio menus are similar across the entire brand these steps are the same for any of the Baofeng and other brand radios. I go over all the steps of getting into the menus, how to save a menu change and how the menu system works.

You can get the new Midland Bull Bar GMRS antennas here: https://bit.ly/3YaRe4N
In this video I will give you a short introduction to Midland's new high-end, heavy-duty mobile GMRS antennas special-built for overlanding and off-road - designed to be mounted on the "push bar" or bull-bar bumper of off road and overland vehicles. A couple of these new bullbar GMRS antennas are high-gain, and all have the old-school CB radio antenna look.

You can get the Retekess TR111 Shortwave here: https://amzn.to/3r5YbrY
You can check out the more expensive radio shown in this video, here: https://amzn.to/3sSQF41
Prepping for World War III but trying to save some money? The Retekess TR111 Shortwave Radio by Retekess is a good place to start. I show you the TR111 shortwave radio and make some comparisons to the much more expensive Eton shortwave radio so you can decide which shortwave will be better for you to use while trying to recover from World War 3.

In this video I ruthlessly tear-open a Baofeng UV-5R ham radio just to see what it looks like on the inside. I dont bother trying to put it back together - this was a one-way disassembly.

Some raw-footage of the NotaRubicon and a few other Jeeps coming down "The Chute" at the Cleghorn Ridge trail.
The Chute is at about the halfway point on the trail between Interstate 15 and Highway 138. At the top of The Chute a skull & crossbones and the words "DO NOT" are painted on a large rock. The Chute is very steep, very rutted and very narrow. You have to ride the wall most of the way down and if your tire slips off the wall your drivers-side will bash into the wall. Toward the bottom there is a large rock-ledge which you can see in the video.

I review the new UV-9G GMRS handheld HT radio from Baofeng. I go over the features, usability, and issues (yah, it has some issues). I do a power-output test, range test AND, find out if the UV9G is really waterproof. and in case you were wondering, yes, this radio IS better than any UV-5R !
